Villa San Ignacio, hotel in San Antonio

Offering an outdoor pool, tropical gardens and a restaurant, Villa San Ignacio is located just 8 km from San José International Airport in Alajuela. Free WiFi access is available.

I absolutely love this property! It is not far from the airport, 20 minutes or so, but it feels like you are in the jungle! The grounds are lovely, full of tress, flowers, and wildlife. The beds, linens and pillows are superb. The rooms are immaculate. The Pandora restaurant on site is delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The free breakfast is quite tasty as well, and I appreciate that they will pack a to go breakfast for early departures. It can be a tad pricey for the area, but the landscape and the beds make it worth every colón! This is my go to spot for arrivals and departures in the country, immediately immersed in nature and clinging to every moment of it before leaving.

Excellent welcoming staff. Location superb. So much better than staying in town. A relaxing 24 hours before flying home, we would definitely stay here again on future trips to Costa Rica.

    Cute little town near the airport.

    Cute little town near the airport. Probably not a destination, but, if you have a night to kill before flying out, it's fine. Otherwise, there isn't anything I know of to draw visitors. Couple cute restaurants on the main street. Felt safe walking around after dark.

    We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do.

    We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do. The church in the center of town was welcoming, and there are a lot of restaurants with good food and service. The bussing to other areas (San Jose and Heredia) is well marked and has an appropriate schedule. Plus, the area felt safe to walk after sunset. Because of its convivence, we extended our hotel stay to stay in the area, and only bussed to San Jose for the day.

    For us La Rivera is a take off and arrival point, so the easy airport access is important. It is an easy walk to a phone store or Pali supermarket for some basics, and the local pista, church and park give you a safe introduction to Costa Rica. There is not much else to do in the immediate area.

    This hotel was a gem! The photos did not do it justice. We booked it for our last night in Costa Rica and enjoyed it greatly. The surroundings and decor were tasteful. My husband also enjoyed a dip in the pool. A big thank you to the staff members as they were exceptionally nice and helpful - I don't like coriander and the staff members did everything to make sure I would have no coriander in my food. If we go back to Costa Rica we will book a longer stay in this hotel as they also organise wildlife trips.

    The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. She was also very kind to let us check into our room early. She also made sure to show us the room and made sure that everything was clean and working well inside. The room was also a great size and it included a full kitchen with appliances. That was a nice bonus. There is also an excellent local restaurant right across the street from the hotel, which was very convenient.

    As a close to airport hotel La Riviera met all our expectations. Easy to get to (apart from the traffic….but that wasn’t the hotels fault) and very good, comfortable accommodation. Staff were really helpful and it’s great to have a very good restaurant on site when you’ve just had a long haul flight and need an early night.

    Property was clean and staff was excellent. incredible customer service. They picked us up from the airport at midnight! then safely brought us to the hotel and brought our bags to the room. Room comes with a fresh bottle of water. Breakfast was decent, they give great options and again customer service was amazing.

    We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.

    Rachel the receptionist was just wonderful and the rooms were large and very well cleaned. In terms of proximity to the airport the hotel works - a short taxi ride. The hotel has a lovely pool and everything it needs to be a really great choice - yet I wouldn't choose it a second time.

    We liked the hotel's layout and greenery. Esteban, the manager, was a pleasure to deal with. The breakfast was excellent. We liked the ability to have a "made to order" breakfast rather than a buffet, which isn't often very warm. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

    The hotel is close to the airport. It has unlimited water and coffee at the reception. The staff is kind and helpful. I would suggestion learning some Spanish words here. The private room is quite big and has everything you may need as well as ventilation.
